THE AFTERNOON CONTEST
between the Washingtons and indianapolis
clubs attracted the largest crowd that has
visited Capitol Park this season, as fully
5000 spectators were present. Among the
number were many friends Of the Hoosiers,
who bestowed liberal applause on their
favorites. The bulk Of the assemblage,
howev,r, were with the Statesmen, but sad
to say, the home team were III. deserving of
the generous sympathy given them. The
bleaching board was packed to overfowing
with admirers Of the Waehingtons, as was
also the lower grand stand, while In the
upper stand fair ladies In beautiful
summer costumes. waved their fans to and
fro. discussing the merits and dement's Of
the different plays made, and lending an
additional charm to what was beyond doubt
one Of the most distinguished base ball
gatherings that has been seen In Washing
ton for years.
or the details Of the game probably the
least said the better, as far as the Washing
tons are concerned, as they simply threw
an excellent chance away, and the main
fault was Shaw's pitching. He did not ap-
pear to be In proper form, and at critical
moments inditferently tossed the sphere
1t. Shaw can pitch better ball than he did
yesterday, and he should be invited to do 1t.
Outside OF "Dupee" the rest of the team
played fairly we'll, although they found It
an enigma to solve Morrison's delivery. BY
the way, this twirler is a promising young
ster, and II coached properly will make any
League team hustle 10 win a game from his
club when he is in the box.
The Senators started the game in their
usual fine style, and scored three runs on
Denny's error, steal, and base hits by
Hines, Farrell, and Dopnellv. They were
blanked In the second and third innings, but
In the fourth Donnelly succeeded in gain
ing second base on his terrific grounder to
third, which struck Denny's lower limbs
and bounded off In the direction of the
boys corner. He went to third on an out
to Denny. This put the score to 0 In the
home teams favor, and every one thought
the local boys had walkover, and would
defeat the visitors by larger score than
they had done in the morning. In this es-
innate they were a little of, as in the In
dianap0l!B' half Oh the fourth inning they
knocked the sheepskin all over the field,
and made five earned runs on four single
base hits, a home run by Shomberg, and
sacrifice hits on the part Of Seery and Nor
rison. This pnt the Hoosiers one run In
the lead, but the Statesmen tied the score
In the next inning, adding tally on Kreig's
going to first on called balls, stealing sec
ond, and coming home on a base hit by
Hines.
The score thus continued tie until the
last half Of the ninth inning, when Shaw
was kind enough to give Morrison his base
on five wild balls. He ran to second on
Glasscock's out at first, and as Shaw pitched
slow ball over the plate Jerry Denny lit
on to 1t and sent The sphere sailing down to
the club house and Morrison scored, and
the game was won by score Of to 5.
The fielding Of both clubs was first class,
and the majority OF the players on each side
acquitted themselves In creditable man
ner. The score follows:
